Abstract :
The paper deals with a comparison between AC and DC arc furnaces taking into account power quality indices. The study is performed using computer simulation based on the ATP program, assuming as reference a real AC arc furnace plant. Flicker phenomenon, harmonic and interharmonic distortion are evaluated for both DC and AC arc furnaces
